The other night, I helped convince a friend I'd had a falling out with that it was worthwhile for him to go to college, after I got on Facebook at 3 AM and he randomly contacted me. It was a pretty good feeling, and considering the more embarrassing events of that night, I think that I pretty much broke even.
Also, I've finally started settling on Molecular and Cellular Biology as my major. 99% chance I follow through on it (though probably as a double major with creative writing or Japanese), and if I do, the end result in 8 years with hopefully be a joint M.D./PhD. Life is improving, and despite how awkward and crazy everything feels, at the same time it all feels right.

Jesus fucking Christ. Good on you for being ambitious!
Thanks. I realize that sounds absolutely insane, but coming from a family of doctors and realizing the impact studying bio in high school had made on me has really brought me back around to that childhood dream. Bio is something I can say that I legitimately miss studying. I miss everything about that subject.
Also, that 8 year number was wrong. With residency, it'd be more like 10-12 years, with the last five being a hellish cocktail of residency and graduate study. Despite that change in the number, my ambitions still stand.
I was just named the Undersecretary General of Simulations for our college's annual Model UN conference. For those of you not involved in Model UN, it basically means I get to come up with my own scenarios for historical, current, or future world events, and then run them in what amounts to a sort of massive game of Diplomacy with high school kids. Pretty awesome, I'm really excited.

So it's like Dungeons and Diplomats? Awesome.
Yeah, and with a PC set of 50+ people, no less. It's going to rock.

That sounds pretty awesome. I really should join my school's Model UN...Though I'm not sure if we have as many awesome people at my school...Or if I have the time...*Sigh.*
After some weeks of being pissed off and hating on everything, I have moved on and have taken one more step farther down my path of self enlightenment. I think it's funny that this happened while eating Indian food. It's got to be the curry.
Lesson learned: "The jacket is no longer a jacket. The jacket is now me..."
Just installed an Ergotron LX mount for my Cintiq. I can finally get it in just the right position. No more hunching for me! No back pain, here I come!

Oh man. I need that. All this time, I thought I needed a taller chair or shorter desk.
Totally. I actually have a taller chair, but it still ended up with me hunching forward over the desk. This one, I can basically pull right into my lap. You can really put it anywhere you could possibly want it. It's amazing.
I just had Vegemite on toast for breakfast. This goes in this thread, because I've not had Vegemite on toast for breakfast since I expatriated, and I really missed it - this has only been made worse by Marmite, the local, poor substitute, which tastes of hospital, but now, I have a massive jar of it. This makes me happy.
Today life was feeling a bit too mundane, so I removed the screen from my bedroom window and jumped out. Since it isn't much trouble to jump back up (about 8 and 1/2 feet) I am devising a remote-operated covering so I can come ang go as I please while keeping the bugs and lizards out.

Makes me wish my window wasn't a 12-15 foot fall onto the neighbor's driveway.

That's awesome. Man, it's been years since I jumped off something high. When I was a kid, we used to jump off the carports at my apartment complex all the time.

Boo. Yah.
